Review
Slight rooty nose. Lots of carbonation in the initial hit, then it fades into a vaguely -- but not overwhelmingly -- diet taste. The tiny-bubble carbonation is not a plus. Diet aftertaste, too, tastes a little like toothpaste. Not much to recommend this root beer, except for the big zero calories.
